Tiger Woods Will Return at the Masters

It is officially official golf fans! The news we had all hoped that we would hear has came down, and that is that Tiger Woods will return to Augusta on April 8 to the play the Masters. While I am certainly ecstatic at this news, there can’t be a happier man on the planet right now than PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

I’d say of all the places that Tiger could have returned, this was the best choice. As has been mentioned before, Augusta is a different kind of atmosphere than say…..the British Open. It was more of a controlled environment, and Augusta National will have a whole lot of say in terms of who will be allowed in when it comes to the press. It won’t be TMZ Fest 2010 to say the least.

This is great news for golf, and even greater news for Tiger himself. After all that has transpired in the last several months, it’s got to be good for him to get back out on the course, and start to at least send things in the right direction again.

Anyone want to guess the rating for the Masters? Could it be the most watched tournament in the history of professional golf? I’d say that it’s a very likely possibility.
